For many craft brewers, the limited volumes produced have presented an obstacle in being able to make the transition to aluminium cans, as many can manufacturers require minimum order volume quantities which are out of scope for many craft businesses. For Pinthouse, a Texas craft brewery, there has been no such problem. The company has been able to utilise CANPACK’s on-going partnership with Gamer Packaging, a provider of full-service custom packaging solutions. In turn, CANPACK has been tasked with producing cans that enhance the refreshed branding of Pinthouse’s two premium IPA beers. These beautifully creative cans are produced at CANPACK’s new, state-of-the-art beverage can plant in Olyphant, Pennsylvania, which uses an innovative 8-colour can printing process.
How many rolls of bubble cushioning does it take to package a personalized outdoor landscape stone with rough edges and an atypical shape? It’s not a question looking for a punchline, it’s the kind of question packaging engineers at Pregis can more easily tackle on behalf of customers because of deep knowledge and the Pregis IQ. In this case, the answer is zero. They were able to do it with Pregis AirSpeed® Hybrid Cushioning (HC) and cut waste by more than half. A small ecommerce business was using bubble cushioning to protect its customized stone product inside a corrugated box that was then shipped to the customer. The bubble cushioning monopolized a significant amount of the customer’s warehouse footprint. To add to the company’s challenges, there were inconsistencies in the amount of material being utilized per box, and the bubble cushioning was inconveniently located outside of the reach of the packers. Both of these challenges contributed to unpredictable material costs, and reduced throughput via an inefficient packing workflow, which posed ergonomic challenges for packers.
